Probably because a lot of people know how to use a fax, and their business
practices are set up to use a fax.  Sending the same information in an
email would break their business practices, and probably confuse / anger
technophobic customers.

At least a lot of modern fax systems also are scanners, and some even have
software to allow you to create an email from the scan.  Still, when you
are a business, you have to cater to your customers.
